As for Peru, the work is slowing going. Its not really the greatest so its tough to get out, but regardless we get out there and talk with everyone that we can. We do have one baptism planned for the 21 of Febuary, but we dont have anymore. Its sad because we had 4 planned or it was our goal for this month, and we wont come close.
This week has been fun in some aspects though. Its CARNAVAL!!! And everyone is throwing water balloons and water at one another. Luckily we havent gotten that wet. Only the members hit us haha. Especially Hma Rose, she does our laundry, she always hits us with water. This last Tuesday we had a huge water fight with her and her kids. I ROCKED THEM!!! They had a little water gun, so i grabbed a huge bucket and let them have it. I got her, and her son SOAKED haha. But they did get me pretty good too.
Elder Huanambal has been a great help to me so far. He helps me with the language and shows me how to work with the ward more effectively. The ward is still slow and not doing much work, but Elder Huanambal and i gave great talks this last sunday about how the ward needs to start working or its going to become a branch. We hope that instilled the force necessary to get them to work and not be so afraid to talk to people about the church.
Lately i have been reading Teaching of the Prophets, Heber J Grants book. It is a great book and i hope to read all the prophets books. He puts a great message about missionary work and about many other aspects of the gospel. It also helps my spanish a lot since its in spanish, and its the way normal people talk too! I reccomend those books to everyone.
I am healthy and happy, and doing the Lord´s work so i really cant ask for much more in my life. I love you all and am thankful for your support!
